Okay, so I was really curious about how many field goals got blocked in the NFL last season, the 2023 season. I kept seeing highlights of these crazy blocks, and I wanted the actual number.
First, I just started Googling. You know, simple stuff like “NFL blocked field goals 2023”. I figured some sports site would have a quick answer. I scrolled through a bunch of articles, but most of them were just talking about individual games or specific plays. Nothing gave me the total number.
Then, I tried to get a bit smarter. I figured the NFL’s official website must have those stats somewhere, right? So I went there and started digging. I clicked around their stats section, but honestly, it was a bit of a maze. Lots of numbers, but not the specific one I was looking for.

Next, I remembered there are some dedicated sports stats websites out there. I think I checked out a couple, but still no luck! They had all sorts of stats – passing yards, touchdowns, tackles – but blocked field goals as a total? Nope.
Feeling a little frustrated, I decided to change my search terms. Instead of just “blocked field goals,” I added things like “season totals” and “statistics.” Still, most of what I found was about individual teams or players, not the league as a whole.
- I spent a good chunk of time on this.
- I mean, who knew it would be so hard to find one simple number?
- I even wondered if I was the only person who cared about this!
Finally, After searching and browsing for a long time, I found my answer! There were 16 Blocked Field Goals. I got the answer and I can share it now!
